A woman was buying a couple items and told me that she needed a price match on the items, since they were currently selling cheaper at the competitor's store next door. The next woman in line said, "Do they do that? I didn't know they price matched." "Yep, I just did it yesterday."
Uh oh. I know this isn't going to be be good, because I know for a fact that we don't price match, after being told a million times. Just to make her happy, I get the supervisor on the phone and she confirms that we don't price match. I get off the phone and the woman is defiantly shaking her head. I broke the news. She looks at me like I'm an idiot. "I just did it yesterday at another one of your stores! "Well, I can just go spend my money at Meijers, that's fine with me." Then she looks at me expectantly. She sees my hands are tied and decides to give it up, gathering up her bags and leaving with a "If they want to miss out on a sale, then it's not my problem" directed at the next woman in line. What am I supposed to say? "Nooooooo!!!! PLEASE, for the love of God, don't go to Meijers!!!! Okay, I'll break the rules just for you this time."
